Educating the East End

[Lilka]

Anyone?

Teach First is the one with barely any training, isn't it? A summer school, and that's all. No wonder he can't cope.

It's heart-breaking to see what some kids are having to deal with, isn't it?

That must be so hard for her.

Oh God her mum looks really ill a morphine pump? And a little 7yo brother

It is really heartbreaking watching Acacia and her Mum. Her poor Mum looks like she's really suffering.

Poor girl.

Oh Gawd Mr B. Good luck (think you're going to need it)

Miss Higgins is bloody terrifying

Actually feeling a bit sorry for the teacher now!

Are the children going to be asked for feedback?

Aw, they are cracking kids really.

I think he's definitely got potential.

Oh gosh, how the heck can such a young person go through that?

Oh Acacia :( she's too young for that :(

I think it was school issued renty one

The school don't seem very aware of what the children are going through though - is that usual?

I had that experience too as one of my parents was dying so he's definitely not my favourite.

Clearly the kids appreciate his teaching, he must be doing a lot right. Takes quite a bit to impress the kids

acacia my heart is breaking that poor poor girl

Oh no am in tears for Acacia now and her little brother, I wondered if it was cancer....

I could never do secondary. The issues that social media now creates must be mega.

Did I hear MrB say he thought something in the lesson may have triggered that?

yes he said it was about cancer, therefore could have triggered it

Yes, the content was about chronic illness.
